MERLOT Open Education Resources for Cancer - OERC

MERLOT (Multimedia Educational Resources for Learning and Online Teaching) has a portal populated with open education resources specifically for cancer at http://oerc.merlot.org/.

Quoted from the website:
The OERC’s portal is open and free for everyone around the world to use to:
  • Find free, open, and online educational and training resources.  We will be “recommending the best” and “linking to the rest” of materials that could meet your interdisciplinary needs.
  • Contribute to the global digital library of cancer resources so everyone worldwide can have the best and latest information.
  • Develop and lead the social networks needed to bring individuals out of isolation and into a supportive community.
  • Participate in online community conversations with cancer researchers, physicians, healthcare professionals, and others working in cancer education to freely share experiences and expertise.
The portal is designed for all people interested in cancer types, treatment, care, and prevention.  MERLOT seeks new contributions and about the portal. Please feel free to email me with suggestions and comments.
